Etymology
'anticipatorily-designed' originates from the combination of 'anticipate' and 'design,' where 'anticipate' comes from Latin 'anticipare,' meaning 'to take before,' and 'design' from Latin 'designare,' meaning 'to mark out.'
'Anticipate' evolved from the Latin 'anticipare' through Old French 'anticiper,' while 'design' evolved from Latin 'designare' through Old French 'designer.'
Initially, 'anticipate' meant 'to take before,' and 'design' meant 'to mark out.' Over time, 'anticipatorily-designed' evolved to mean 'created with foresight.'
